Don’t compromise on filter performance
Who doesn’t love a bargain? But are they always as good as they seem? With the rising cost of living and homeowners being more selective about their purchases, it can be tempting to reach for the lowest-priced product on the shelf.
With so many magnetic filters on the market, how do you tell which offers the best value for money while delivering optimum results?
Using a magnetic filter for long-lasting system protection goes way beyond just ticking a box. With different filters yielding different results, choosing a filter with optimum performance that lasts means paying attention to specific design details. After all, investing in the best-performing filter from the outset will help avoid costly problems further down the line.
Here’s what to look for to make sure you get the biggest bang for your buck.
1. Give the performance of a lifetime
Magnet strength and quality are key. The basis on which the technology was first invented, is fundamental to how the filter performs. The magnet inside a MagnaClean® filter is powerful and large enough to capture and keep hold of tiny particles less than 3 microns in diameter, and with the majority of magnetite being 2-8 microns in diameter, the neodymium magnet is the most effective solution for that. MagnaClean’s magnet is also purposely positioned in the flow of the water to maximize first-pass capture and prevent magnetite wash-off. This provides instant protection, especially for older systems that need immediate attention. This signature design and the quality of components used in MagnaClean filters ensure they will outperform cheaper alternatives.
Many boiler manufacturers also won’t honor warranties if magnetite, sediment, lack of water treatment, or improper maintenance is found to be the cause of a boiler failure. A MagnaClean filter works hand in hand with ADEY's water treatment chemicals to keep systems in good health throughout their lifetime and prevent boilers from failing.
2. Last Long to prosper
Investing in best-in-class over cheapest in price provides the reassurance and peace of mind for you and your customers.
MagnaClean filters are tested to the extreme and beyond so that they’re built to last. Tested to 440 thermal cycles and 300,000 pressure cycles, you, the contractor, can be sure that it’s the best filter for the job. The filter is also BSI Hydrostatically pressure tested to 87 PSI at ambient and 95˚c / 203˚F to check for leakage.
We’re confident contractors can trust MagnaClean to provide optimum boiler protection for the long-term without issue.
3. Filters with benefits
We know it can be challenging to convince customers to spend a little more when it comes to protecting their heating system, especially when finances are already being stretched.
That’s why we’ve gone to great lengths to prove and verify the savings that MagnaClean technology can achieve so that installers can better demonstrate value for money to customers. Used as part of ADEY’s Best Practice® approach, which has been independently tested and proven to save up to 7% on household gas usage year on year*, the system protection offered by MagnaClean helps to safeguard boilers, increasing their expected lifespan by as much as seven years.
With these kinds of performance benefits, savings and quality assurances, it’s worth investing a little more at the outset for a product that’s proven to save much more over the life of the heating system. Giving installers and their customers this confidence is something we won’t compromise on.
